This is Hard for me to admit!

I cheered for the Pats yesterday and I will cheer for them again next weekend.

Why because if the Colts are lucky enough to beat Baltimore(if the D plays like they did again an almost given) I would much rather play the Pats at Home than the Chargers on the road.

Yeah yeah, Pats curse and all that crap. But hey we have beat them the last two times we played and both of them were on the road. And just remember which team beat us at home last year to end our undefeated streak.

Plus I will say it, LT scares the crap out of me, I don't care how well our D looked.

Plus Brady showed earlier in the season he isn't patient enough to just hand hte ball off even if the Run is working.

Re: This is Hard for me to admit!

I don't think we'd beat either team, I don't give a great chance of beating Baltimore.

However if we play that Pats we will no longer be the underdog. It is a great change to be the team that isn't expected to win. I honestly believe that will help this team more than anything. Not to have this pressure of being some Gridiron Deity.

Re: This is Hard for me to admit!

I'm right with ya cheering for the Pats.

My reasons are a bit more mercenary though. While I'm not a Colts fan I do follow them and wish them well - for the most part they seem like a good bunch of guys (in contrast to Another Indy Major Professional Sports Team That Shall Remain Nameless). But I have friends who stand to make pretty good money from another home game.

And actually, as the NBA season winds down I'll wish AIMPSTTSRN well for the same reason.

Plus the excitement from a big home game is always nice.

Of course you have to get past Baltimore first - and I still haven't decided what team was on the field Saturday - that WASN'T the team I saw during the regular season. This new team has a legit shot. That other team didn't.

If Indy's D can somehow not play like they did the entire regular season and carry the team to the Super Bowl I'll consider that as large of an upset as I've ever seen in pro sports - that sort of magical transformation just doesn't happen.

Re: This is Hard for me to admit!

Well, we'll have to see whether they can duplicate this on the road. They played great against Cincy, too. But on the road they stunk. They need to continue to play with passion if they want a shot to win.

Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

Re: This is Hard for me to admit!

Tomorrow's game is so hard to predict. I could see either team blowing each other out or a very close game down to the wire. As much as I respect the Patriots in the playoffs , you have to root for the home AFC Championship game no doubt! and how sweet that would be to go through the Pats ..

Like Manning said though be careful what you wish for though, no time to get too confident even if we are at home next week.
